Answer:
Some of the issues that polarized American Society ever since are:
- Gun politics - the right to keep guns is protected by the Second Amendment. However, the amount of guns in the United States is large, and some political commentators argue that this is one of the causes of the increasing amount of mass shootings in the country. This is why people on different political aisles have called for more gun regulation, while others oppose these measures.
- Abortion - this is a hot button issue up to this day. People disagree on everything here: whether a fetus is a human being or not, whether women should keep unwated pregnacies or not, whether the argument should be framed in a religious fashion or in a secular fashion, etc.
- Recreational drug use and legalization - Drug use is still frowned upon by most of society, but this has not stopped marihuana from being legalized in several states. Many economists support legalization because they believe that prohibition only leads to inflated prices in black markets that are prone to violence. Legalization of hard drugs such as cocaine and heroine, however, is much more controversial.
- Separation of church and state - Some people believe that United States is a Christian nation, and that the church should have a lot of influence in the government, while others argue that America is a secular country, and that state and religous matters are separate.

2. Created laws protecting slaves and prisoners.
During the 13th century, the king Sundiata Keita united all the kingdoms of Western Africa to create the Empire of Mali. In the year 1235, he enacted the Kouroukan Fouga, the non-written constitution of the Empire of Mali, which contained laws that protected slaves and prisoners. This constitution is one of the first declarations of Human Rights in the History of Humanity. It established that slaves should be treated properly and they could only be employed or liberated, but they could never be sold by their masters.
3. Created a cabinet of advisors
In 1235, Sundiata Keita created the Gbara, or great assembly, which worked as the deliberative body of the Empire of Mali. It was formed by 30 members from the different Mandinka clans.
